Dish Love

I have a few mini-obsessions, dishes being one of them. LOVE THEM! If I could and if I had room I'd have dozens of sets. When I moved in with Pup I edited and edited. Gave a few sets to daughters and made decisions on some I owned that I didn't love as much. Oh the sadness having to do that.No love in a vacuum. I am slowly filling up that void.

Hot Men Friday

Mmmm!Look at Brian's man-pack. I noticed these as early as two winters ago. Many of the smart, hip young men downtown were wearing them with tighter jeans and white Ts.

Fearless

http://fashionloveandmartinis.blogspot.com/I woke up this morning with no intention of writing on this subject, but I stumbled on this video while doing my coffee and morning blog and twitter readings (thanks Maegan!).This darling girl is only in her 20s and she has already begun her soul-scorching crossing into self-awareness.How many of us have been where Amanda is right now?

This, My Darlings, is Snow

October 10th! One month ago it was 95 degrees and incredibly humid. Now I'm ashy like a cold fireplace.On a cheerful note, I am off to my DD1's house later this morning to do my first closet/styling session. Sarah agreed to be my first styling client and has volunteered to be my first online model. I am excited. I am bringing Ikea bags for the tossing, mending, throwing piles I know we will find.
